Mike...you need a rear fender sticker!! Talk to Harlan!!

Awesome bike!! Your pics motivated me to buy mine!!

I am proud to have the 3rd cleanest 250r (behind yours and OrangeCty250r's)!

[Dammit!]

Hope you're not the type that gets offended by this kind of question but, how much is Honda paying you for that? I'm sure we're all curious.

Next time you talk to those guys at HOJ, tell them to stop discontinuing and destroying our precious OEM parts too. ;)

Edit: take that thing to a photographer first and get some high quality shots taken for some posters! You'd clean up on ebay! Put me down for one right now. :beer

Lets just say Honda has alot of money, and when i first started building this 250R i thought they would bury me with it , I told everyone i would never sell. I will just leave it at that , Im sure honda does not want me throwing around business dealings with them they have been very good to me .

[fyi]

Excellent work! :) It;s too bad it has to go.... :(

[trikezilla]

That is sexy man. I love it...now I gotta make sure I find a water cooler in my lifetime...although it proble wont even look 1/2 as nice as your resto. NICE WORK...well goona go drool along with slothminx now.

Fair enough. I was serious about the posters and pleading for parts though. :beer

[threewheelin-feelin]

how do you find all those new parts if so many are discontinued??

[Mr. Sandman]

Nice job VMS. Looking at those pictures takes me back to the dealer sales floor 20+ years ago to when I bought my first R.

[Jeb]

Simply BEAUTIFUL! :beer


Great job Mike.

[fyi]

He's connected with Honda, that's how........ ;)

[AZ250R]

NICE SHOWROOM.... uh... I mean MUSIEUM peice, for sure!!! :cool:

[Tri-ZNate]

Awesome restore. Infact I think I just found a new desktop :naughty: . I gotta take a look at the 90 and 70 restores.

[willcamach]

i find it hard to beleive that they never kept at least one sample of each bike for themselves seems stange that they would have some outside company build them something that they originally built thousands of. kinda like cadillac hiring me to build them an escalade go figure????? either way that is awesome work vms does

[Fox250R]

awesome work!!
